BaT Success Story: Survivor Van Fleet to Denmark

“Hi BaT,

This Summer I saw a Ford Econoline on BaT (link here) and fell in love with this particular style. I placed a bid on the van on eBay and won the auction. By coincidence, the seller had other vans for sale and we ended up buying 5 of his extremely well-kept vans from 1969-1974. They were trucked to Florida and from there, shipped to Rotterdam, Holland – and are now finally here at our place in Denmark.”

“We are now the proud owners of a 1974 Ford Econoline camper, 1973 Ford Econoline – 19k miles from new (not on the picture), 1969 Ford Econoline E300, which served as an emergency vehicle, a 1974 Dodge B200 Sportsman Royal B200 and finally 1970 Dodge B100 Sportsman. All have original paint and have been kept so well that they are completely unrestored classics. When the truck arrived from Rotterdam with 3 of them, people had seen the vans on the highway and followed the truck to see where the vans were going.

Congratulations, Allan! Those vans are great, and definitely under appreciated. Great job going for the examples with original paint… we love those! Best of luck finding appreciative buyers in Denmark! -BaT
